A Family Story: Paddling the Adirondacks

Gary, an REI member from Elbridge, New York, shares his passion for paddling in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. He started canoeing with his father at “4 or 5 years old,” and has raced for more than 30 years. He talks about learning from his father and passing on the paddling tradition to his own son and grandchildren.

“God doesn’t count the time that you are on the water.”
